The "process for adding new board members" described at:
http://cve.mitre.org/community/board/addmember.html
does not have a provision to inform a recommending board member about
the fate of the recommendation. When a nomination does not proceed to
stage 3 (board feedback), some frustration could be avoided by informing
the recommending board member. A detailed explanation could introduce
privacy concerns in addition to possibly skewing the process and having
other consequences. However, informing the board member of only the
completion of the process, would be easy and remove doubts that the
recommendation may have been forgotten, ignored, or that the process
broke down.
